◉ Rooted in an introspective harmonization of the mind, ‘’Whispers of Rain’’ emerges as a natural musical creation, inspired by human emotion and the life-giving rhythm of rain. In an age where AI lags behind in true feeling yet leads so many aspects of our lives, this project stands at the very center of genuine artistic expression.
From their first Digital Single of the same title, the collaboration between Tulshi and Alina Bzhezhinska already made perfect sense. Its ambient backdrop blends classical, cinematic and atmospheric elements, while Bzhezhinska’s delicate harp notes perfectly capture Tulshi’s authentic inspiration behind ‘’Whispers of Rain’’. The result feels magical, calm and refreshing, like soft rain…
Like the sea. ‘’Across The Sea’’ another Digital Single, carries the bittersweet taste of dark chocolate that slowly melts into tranquility, a seaside view, a sound José Padilla might have played at Café del Mar. Cinematic and full of sunset magic, it paints that golden moment when the blue horizon turns to orange.
On ‘’Warm Days, Cold Nights’’ however, I keep searching, but I can’t seem to find the warm nights, except in Bzhezhinska’s harp. Everything else feels distant, cold even, on their third Digital Single. Yet I’m lost in the magic of her harmonic play, which opens up Balearic spaces reminiscent of Andreas Vollenweider’s White Island moments once cherished by DJs back in the day. Tulshi’s direction is flawless, no doubt. But me? I prefer living in warmer climates…
Together, they continue to weave classical and electronic soundscapes through an ambient music box, sometimes sad, sometimes moody, often deeply beautiful. You simply open it and its magic unfolds.
In ‘’Nomad’s Nocturne’’, the most ‘uplifting’ of the album, a world-music spirit arrives strong and confident. The opening track, ‘’Child’s Play’’, reconnects with modern electronica... Letting the children play. ‘’Starling’’ lifts your mood but fades too quickly, leaving a trace of melancholy in its short flight. Finally, ‘’Journey Home’’, the album’s Focused Track, brings calm after the rain or perhaps during it. Heartbeats slow, drops disappear… and you’re ready to press repeat on this emotional, soothing journey. Alina Bzhezhinska Lazorkina & Tulshi ''Whispers Of Rain'' released on Tru Thoughts last summer but it can be the soundtrack of the season. - DJ Nova Nov(A)voN ♫ # truthoughts
